A total of three hundred stool samples were collected from diarrheic patients, the samples were examined using Formal ether concentration technique and staining techniques and the samples were preserved in schauddins fixative. The overall prevelance of parasite detected by modified ZN stain was 18%, and by trichrome stain 5%. The prevalence of C.parvum was higher in female than male.
